NOCO is a
third-generation family owned and locally operated company, with over
80 years of experience in the energy business. Founded in Tonawanda,
N.Y. in 1933 by Reginald B. Newman, NOCO started out supplying coal
to residential customers. After its incorporation in 1948 to R.B.
Newman Fuel Company, NOCO began delivering home heating oil as the
demand for coal decreased. In 1950, the company expanded to serve
small commercial and industrial customers with lubricants, gasoline,
and diesel fuel.

Reginald’s two
sons, Donald F. Newman and Reginald B. Newman II, joined the company
in 1954 and 1960, respectively. They continued the family tradition
of growth by broadening NOCO’s product lines and marketing area. In
1973, NOCO acquired a 33 million gallon storage facility from the
Gulf Oil Company. In 1983, NOCO purchased the adjacent 10 million
gallon operation from Ashland Oil to give the company over 42 million
gallons of petroleum storage capacity.

In 2001, Jim and
Michael Newman were named President and Executive Vice President,
respectively, carrying the business into the third generation. With a
number of acquisitions and new ventures in recent years, NOCO now
distributes a full portfolio of energy products at home, at work, and
on the go!

NOCO is one of the
largest private sector employers in Western New York with over 600 employees
across the company.
